A Girl Called Thandie

I try not to blog about starlets per se, but I'm making exception today with Thandie Newton. Besides being absolutely gorgeous, I love that she's keen to don frocks designed by her fellow Brits. And not just the cosmically acceptable big namers like McQueen or McCartney, but the emerging ones: Jonathan Saunders, Giles, Nathan Jenden, and one of my all-time favs, Preen.

Really, she's become this avatar of young British fashion. And while she's already appeared in some blockbusters alongside the likes of superstar Will Smith, I still feel like she's somewhat under the radar. Which isn't such a bad place to be in, I think, especially if she remains looking as flawlessly styled, and as conscientious in her choices as she's been for the last several years now.
